Montgomery County, Maryland Parking Enforcement

During the summer months, some of the residential streets, including streets in Kentlands, have a parking shortage near community swimming pools and recreational facilities. We just received a phone call from a home owners association asking about parking regulations. Residents and visitors need to be alert to avoid parking fines or towing.

The Police Department looks for the citizens of our communities to observe and comply with all parking laws of Montgomery County. Most fines are $50.00 for each offense and the vehicle could also be subject to tow and storage fees. This is a list of the most applicable parking laws as provided by the Police Department.

It might be a good time to leave your automobile in the garage and take a photowalk through your community. Enjoy the blooming flowers and meet your neighbors.

Roy, sometimes it's so simple - walk a little - get a little exercise. Have you ever noticed that all of the close up front parking spaces are always taken at a health club? Hmmmmmmm. Maybe a few more people will read you well provided information on Montgomery County parking laws AND take a leaf out of your book - walk for health.

Roy, the Cops in my Town don't enforce such Laws, they don't even give out Speeding Tickets. The reason they don't, has do with the Town does not get to keep the money from them giving out Tickets. The Town has to turn over all money from tickets to the State of New Hampshire.
